I know they also sell it at the FIT bookstore. Sometimes it&#39;s called tailors muslin. <br /><br />I highly recommend having wool steam pressed at the cleaners. I picked mine up yesterday, and it feels fantastic!

I&#39;ll definitely have to do that before I cut into my wool next time.<br /><br />Question: Where did you get your heavy muslin?

Those point to a rounded shoulder. I don&#39;t think that you need that much, but if you push the back shoulder seam toward the neck, those wrinkles should disappear. Add this amount to the end of the shoulder seam and ease the back to fit the front when you sew it together. Tape the seam to after you ease it. Steam the hell out of it and you will have a beautiful wrinkle free shoulder.Nancy Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-25229507319801385962009-11-18T09:36:49.255-05:002009-11-18T09:36:49.255-05:00It looks so fantastic already!It looks so fantastic already!emadethishttp://emadethis.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-68258799596636042122009-11-18T02:48:24.708-05:002009-11-18T02:48:24.708-05:00Oh my.

But because it is SO perfect now, I worry also that after it is made in the heavier fabric with the lining and interlining that it will &quot;shrink&quot;.
